Me and You

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

If I be Adam and you be Eve

we would have been out of Eden

If I be Romeo and you be Juliet

we would have made Shakespeare proud

If I be a King and you a Queen

we would have a kingdom of our own

If I be Samson and you be Delilah

I would have been betrayed by you

If I be a Prince and you a Princess

we would have tied the knot

But now that am me

And you are you

Then lets make a story of our own

my wish

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

i crave for my lovers touch

for it calms my heavy heart

i crave for my lovers smile

for it sets my mood alight

i crave for my lovers kiss

for it tunes my troubled mind

i crave for my lovers voice

for its music in disguise

i crave for my lovers eyes

for they assure me all is well

i crave for my lovers embrace

for indeed

it makes me feel at peace

Bon Voyage Feb 14th

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

there’s a virus in the air,

its called the St. Valentine.

oh my God,

i really hope i don’t catch it.

for it makes the strong weak

and the weak strong

...especially the feminine fold.

funny enough,

while still incubating,

a handful of girls

have caught the bug

and have been transformed

gradually into angels

smiling, giggling and being nice.

But hey, i still haven’t forgotten,

Eve, you handed me the forbidden fruit

way back in Eden

i know you by name

so, stop being a saint.

kudos to men of great sights

that pierces through fogging dark

Eve has decided to change her birth date

like most girls

they now share the birth date

with St. Valentine.

But i say, ''bring it on Eve''

when the time and date approaches,

we will meet you

with lost purses

lost wallets

lost credit cards

empty accounts

and lots more...

DREAMLAND

by

Nicholas Ayoola Oladehin

Dreamland

Where the streets are lined with rubies

And everyone is a prince

Dreamland

Where there’s always a Romeo

For every lonely Juliet

Dreamland

Where the rivers flow with milk

And the streams are spiced with honey

Dreamland

Where the richest man is poor

And the poorest man rich

Dreamland

Where diamonds are like water

Free for all to take

Dreamland

Where a prisoner roams free

In his own tiny mind

Dreamland

Where my aged grandma

Still feels like a sweet sixteen

Dreamland

Where everyman is a friend

And all tribes are as one

Dreamland

Where we are all as kings

Men of equal rights

Dreamland

Where there is no law

No crime, no pain, no worries

Dreamland

A temporary home of make believe

For the lazy man

Who gladly retires to his own domain

Dreaming again and again

Dreamland

Where I travel to

When am weak, tired and worn out

Dreamland

Where I make peace with my body

After a long days job.......

THE ROCK CALLED JU'

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

i call her by name

for she hails from motherland

richly endowed

and of ample height.

she indeed:

a giant in disguise

sends the shivers through my spine

as i ponder on random thoughts

all scattered in my head.

as i look for a way

to tackle this task

am confused the more.

many have crumbled at her feet

many have fled for dear life

many have begged to be set free

many have turned back half way

many have tried and failed

and tried over and over again

many have begged to be let lose

from the clutches of her embrace

i have admired this massive rock

i have climbed to its peak

i have experienced its climax point

i have laid at its feet

and dined at its table

i have cherished, loved and adored it

in my own little way

i long for home far away

and i long to go climbing

for its been 4moons past

since i set eyes on thee

a rock i'll climb over and over if i can

a rock of awesome view

The Name Game

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

I know a couple of ladies

Named Glory, Precious, Mercy, Love, Victory, Blessing, Peace and a couple more

Sunday came

Time for church

Beautiful service

And then the pastor said

Glory is yours

Mercy is yours

Blessing is yours

Peace is yours

Victory is yours

And I kept saying amen

Oh my God, I didnt bargain for all this

Now am a polygamous man

TwIst Of NaMes

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

Beauty is my friend

She’s fond of telling lies

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

I’ve always warned her

Now she’s behind bars

I was brought up well

Well enough to know

That charity begins at home

Indeed!!!

I have been donating to charity

For the past few month

Oh my God,

Now she’s carrying my baby.

JUGGLED THOUGHTS

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

chilling cold breeze

takes over the silent night

forcefully putting all to ransom

dead cold pangs

of silent torture

reduces us all to tenants

thick black fog

like never before

threatens to rule the night

I'm held hostage

against my wish

against all odds

as I travel this terrain

mentally tortured as i transit through.

unwelcomed biting pains

deprive me of my heritage

season of hunger declared

as I'm forced to fast again

I'm a puppet of this empty night

I'm still without a voice

I'm still without a say

I'm still me

A refugee in my own birth-land

Yet in search of freedom.

Of Letters and Words

by

nicholas ayoola oladehin

letters are like scalars

with magnitude

but no direction

like lose men and women

they cluster about

lost in an imaginary world

unable to connect

free to roam endlessly

without a care

free to romance the next available letter.

they are like a corn seed

lonely; a one man army

we as men

are like little God's

we are like the priest

a reverend

an ordained pastor

as we marry letters together

to form words

and words to form sentences

we started a mini war

the war of words

caused by the discovery of letters

FROM A BLOGGERS MIND by nicholas ayoola oladehin

I blogged

till my eyes were sore

till I saw things in doubles

till I ached from been on one spot

till my head banged

till I went numb in my hands

till I heard imaginary things

till I became addicted to my screen

till I saw the birth of a new day

till I heard the early cock crow

till I realised it was time for work

till I missed the early bus

till I smelt the burn from my meal

till I fell in love with letters

till I started a date site

till I started marrying letters to form words

till I missed all my calls

till I lost track of time

till I started blogging in my dreams

till I lost ample weight

till I was forced to eat junk

till I forgot my birthday

till I couldn’t hear the bell ring

till I missed my bath for days

till I saw the day turn to night

till I could see the sun set

till I became addicted to windows 7

till I forgot my first name

till I couldn’t remember my best mate

till I lost my job

till I woke up with blood thick eyes

till I became lost in my own world

till I went off food for days

till I was lost of all strength

I blogged

Till I could blog no more

Till I knew it was time to say goodnight

TRUE WORDS

by

NICHOLAS AYOOLA OLADEHIN

The kiss of a lover

Feels like butter and cheese

Melting slowly on crispy bread

The touch of a lover

Feels so divine

Taking you to places unknown

The smile of a lover

So real and genuine

Melting every icy heart

The voice of a lover

Like a programmed rhyme

Drills through my inner being

The dance of a lover

With rhythms unending

Brings joy to my troubled mind

The walk of a lover

Down the aisle

A reminder of an unending story

The words of a lover

Full of passion

Calms down a heavy heart

The beauty of a lover

From her hearts depth

Is an object of inestimable value

The eyes of a lover

Pierces my inner being

Makes me feel like a transparent glass

The smell of a lover

So distinct

Sticks to me like super glue

The name of a lover

Hmm…I really can’t describe

Well, Its something I’ll never ever forget
